Another Monday, wow, they seem to come faster lately!! I hope you had a good weekend. It was dance recital weekend for us so a weekend filled with dance is a good weekend when you are a dance teacher and a mother of 2 dancers!! Today I have a set of tags to share with you that I made to put on some gifts we will be giving to my daughter's dance teachers for the "end of the year" gifts.

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Girly Blog Hop". You should have arrived at my blog after visiting the lovely Lisa (which is also the beginning of our hop today). Today the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' design team will be showcasing projects made with PPPR products and all about GIRLS!! I chose to make a graduation card for a certain dance student of mine that will be graduating this year. I dressed the girl up in my card to look like my student in her school colors.

Also, this hop begins a new monthly challenge for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. And, of course, the theme is anything "Girly" using PPPR products. For more information on the challenge and/or to link up your project please go HERE.

Now it is time to hop over to the lovely Shannon's blog. Thanks for stopping by today!!

Happy Friday my bloggy friends!! Today I am excited to be a part of a blog hop celebrating 5 years of blogging for my friend Julie from Readysetstamp.com. You should have arrived at my blog after visiting Karen. If you missed the start of the hop, you will want to head on over HERE.

I have served on the Cardz TV Stamps design team with Julie and have so enjoyed getting to know her. Julie is a sweet and genuine person and I am delighted to be sharing in her celebration. In honor of her 5 year blog anniversary, I created a special card -

Julie is giving away 2 sets of Cardz TV Stamps to one random winner to be chosen on May 17th. Many of the other stops on our hop are also offering blog candy so don't miss out on all the fun. Now it is time for you to visit the lovely Sarah.

Today is my day to post for the 3 Girl JAM design team and I have a Mother's Day card to share with you. I used some of the new lime green flower die cut ribbon. I just love this new set of ribbon, the "Flower Bundle".

My watering can and flowers are from the Silhouette Online Store. I added some 3 Girl JAM Daffodil crinkle ribbon to the spout of my watering can. My sentiment is from My Creative Time's "Small Talk" set. I used some glossy accents on the centers of my flowers and added a butterfly sticker from Recollections. I did a bit of inking and doodling with my white gel pen to finish off my card. This sweet baby is headed off to my very own mom. So, mom, if you see this before it gets to you - Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo folks!! Today is my day to post for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and I have a birthday card to share with you that I made for my oldest daughter's birthday last week. I decided to be fancy and make a shaker card too since it is for a special person :-)

I used the cupcake from the PPPR Birthday Critters Cutting files for my cupcake. I created an offset and welded it to my "window" frame. I attached acetate to the back of that and then put foam tape all around the edges of the frame. I sprinkled in some micro beads and sequins and then attached my card base to my window frame. I used a very heavy white cardstock for my card base so that it would hold the weight of the window frame better. I finished my card off with some 3 Girl JAM "Baby Girl" crinkle ribbon and a sentiment from the "Make a Wish" set from Cardz TV Stamps. The enamel dots are homemade from perler beads I melted and I blinged up the flame of the candle with diamond stickles.
